Pros
The best reason to work at EY is the training and a few good seniors. Another reason would be the ability to work remotely. In addition actually getting to interface with some clients.
Cons
They put a tremendous amount of stress on you coming in as a staff 1. You're performance is compared and based off of other staff 1s in the company. If you get one bad review, they will slip that review in the next periods performance and state you don't stack up to your peers. They are very unorganized when it comes to engagements. Staff doesn't know when engagements will start and communication is poor from top down. Counselors, peer advisors, and Counseling families are a complete joke and they don't provide you with additional help or resources. When it comes to getting projects no matter how hard you network they always want to give projects to new hires. The people consultants who claim to help you are very rude, unreasonable, and will not give a justifiable reasons as to their decisions. The list goes on and on. My advice is go to a different firm it's not worth the trouble or wasting time at this firm. Compensation was deplorable for someone holding a MS degree in accounting.
